Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the H61H-G11 motherboard. This motherboard is a high
performance, enhanced function motherboard designed to support the LGA1155
socket for latest Intel® CoreTM Family/Pentium®/Celeron® processors* for high-end
business or personal desktop markets.
This motherboard is based on Intel® H61 Express Chipset for best desktop platform
solution. H61 is a single-chip, highly integrated, high performance Hyper-Threading
peripheral controller, unmatched by any other single chip-device controller. This
motherboard supports up to 8 GB of system memory with dual channel DDR3 1333/
1066 SO-DIMM. One Mini PCI Express slot is supported, which supports half-card.
It implements an EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) compliant interface
that provides six USB 2.0 ports (four USB 2.0 ports at the back panel and one USB
2.0 header support additional two USB 2.0 ports).
The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel,
including one HDMI port, one DC-IN port, one Lan port, four USB 2.0 ports, and
audio jacks for microphone and line-out.
In addition, this motherboard supports two SATA 3.0Gb/s connectors for expansion.
*When accommodating Intel 3rd Generation CPU, the PCI Express 16X
slot can run at Gen3 speed, which accelerates on 32GB/s rate that effec-
tively delivers double of PCI Express Gen2 speed.
